Warhammer 40k

In my day farmers knew to ignore autistic trolls that come in and shit up threads like this, the only reason he doesn't have a thread himself is he's just too boring.

Anyway, last bit of 40k-ing i did was to throw together an evilsunz weirdboy for my speed freeks.

Ack! Chually, only the last one is that powerful. Amberley Vail is just a bitch ass basic inquisitor. There is a lot of them, and the High Lords had SoBs in one of the non-fixed spots so that's a better example too.
Ursula Creed was the laziest of swaps ever.

Fact is they can flash a rosette and basically do whatever they want, even if Vail is low tier. Greyfax definitely isn't, Sabbathiel well... that's a whole other chaos mess but before that still an inquisitor with a rosette.

GW: They can sculpt the nipples but not the face. That monkey face looks like it belongs on a Wukong action figure, not a woman. GW should never make female miniatures just because of how they just can't do it right. Even their male faces are a good argument for helmets.

Honestly I think it has more to do with their painters can't paint a female face worth a shit(never have been able to), and their male faces aren't much better. But if you get even the most potato of sculpts in the hands of some quality painters they can make it work.

LOL, I had forgotten about that chit and counter game company Ad Astra Games throwing that tantrum about tyranids being jews on twitter when the trailer for 10th was released.

GW should not be left off the hook for the woke stuff. Grifters are bad, I know. But they did too much anti-consumer shit, and they should be raked over the coals for everything, wokery and price gouging and decimating the whole Space Marine range.

I will autistically ree at them, and if the grifters join in to make it louder, well they are being useful for once. Yelling at them by a vocal online minority caused this, so we need to adapt that the left's motto. There are no wrong methods, only wrong targets.

Plus, I like cute girls doing action stuff, but GW can't even do a Lara Croft right.

Well, kind of, Inquisitors have gotten their authority to be somewhat lessened after the early editions, where they could command Space Marines or High Lords.

Painting women is easy.
Painting attractive women is far harder.
I'd say you'd have to use a different highlighting process on the face, the standard "drybrush the raised surfaces" method will make their features look angular and bloke-ish, by emphasizing cheekbones and jaw and the various protruding bits.
Women's faces are softer and rounder than men's, and I'd go easy on the wash too, maybe use a lighter kind.

. . . . Not that I would be seen dead painting w*men

Yeah, everyone is giving you stickers and calling you a dumbass because no one wants to read your spergery.

But now you have my attention.
Are you sure you want it?
Disapproval from people you don't like, is just a commendation from a friend in reverse.

So Ive been working on NMM and edge highlighting. It still takes me forever, but Im needing to clean up lines much less than I used to. Theres a couple wonky ones on here, but Im still tinkering around with this model.

I think it looks great. Are you using a lupe?

Considering the size of the dreadnaught the knight will be huge by comparison.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen a Forge World titan in person, but I think it's around the height of a tabletop-scale Warlord Titan.

I just view it as them branching out for more merchandising deals and they happened to luck out with Joytoy's quality. Action figure collectors are whole different level of autism.

I'm thinking about them being a way to do big baller "Distinguished Service" statues of /mydudes/, which means I'm kind of glad they don't make a Pedro Kantor (yet), because I'd be tempted to get it and one of the Iron Hands guys to kitbash a Captain who soloed a Great Unclean One (before Iron Hands had rules to be OP with). Although that might be more appropriate for something that happened in a tournament rather than a casual game.

The stripes are fun when you get them right, but a pain in the ass to correct if you fuck up. Masking tape is your friend.

I also like how 10e has vague weapon descriptions such as "heavy melee weapon". It gives you more leeway for creative kitbashing without feeling like you're cheating. Hence the guy on the left with a Centurion siege drill grafted on Evil Dead style.

thanks!
whats a lupe?

Like a tiny magnifying glass.

I have one of those reading lamp/magnifying glass combo things, but don't always use it. The more imperfections I see, the more I try to fix them, and then make it worse.

My models never look as clean as other people's, but they're nice enough for me. I also use gloss varnish. IMO it seals the paint job better, even if it makes them look wet.

Honestly I wish the game had more of that, and less 7 different weapon profiles that are barely different and take forever to roll(hooray, your cultist with a bat with a nail in it is so statically different than the cultist with a sharpened shovel, and the one with a lead pipe, and the one with a chain, and the one with a you get the idea). Because you're right, it does mean you can kitbash whatever the hell you want, which isn't exactly hard to do for SM/CSM in the first place.

Orks were my starting army. I learned that lesson the hard way. Gotta find that happy medium between consistency and variety.
